1 After Παταρα Ὦ (Gig., Wer., Sah.) add και Μυρα, so Blass in β, and Hilg., another accurate geographical touch; cf. xx. 15 and Ramsay, C. R. E., p. 153, and St. Paul, p. 297; but after a long discussion of the passage in Expositor, March, 1895, Ramsay decides against the originality of the reading, but see also Zéckler, Greifswalder Studien, p. 138, who declines to be persuaded by these recent argu- ments urged by R. Wendt thinks that it may be original, p. 338 (1899), so Corssen, G.G.A., p. 441. Weiss, Codex D, p. 109, while accepting D in xx. 15, finds here assimilation to xxvii. 5. On the other hand the words may have been omitted in
view of Paul’s haste in xx. 16 (Wendt).

dreds of ships took every year,’’ Ramsay, St. Paul, p. 297, and cf. the illustrations from Roman history in C. and Η., p. 560 note.
Ver. 2. They went at Patara on board a ship about to start on the direct Syrian course, ἐπιβ., cf. xx. 18.
Ver. 3. ἀναφ.: ‘when we had come in sight of,” R.V., Doric form of ist aorist active, Winer-Schmiedel, p. 112, here a technical word (only in Luke, ef. Luke xix. 11, but in a different ene), i.e., after we had rendered Cyprus visible (to us) = facere ut appareat (Blass) ; Virgil, Aineid, iii, 275, 291, see also Rendall’s note in loco (for the opposite idiom, ἀποκρύπτειν, cf. Thuc., v., 65).— καταλιπόντες αὐτὴν εὐώ.: sailing south- east they would have passed close to Paphos in Cyprus.—émAéopev : ‘‘imperf. cursum, aorist. Κκατήλθοµεν finem de- notat” (Blass).—els Τύρον: now a free town of the R. province of Syria, Strabo, xvi., 2, in honour of its ancient greatness; it is still a place of consider- able commerce and consequence, still famous for its fabrics and its architecture. At present it numbers amongst its five thousand inhabitants a few Jews, the rest being Mohammedans and Christians. Besides Ο.Τ. references, see 1 Macc. xi. 59, 2 Macc. iv. 18, 44, and further for its history, C. H., small edit., p. 563, Ham- burger, Real-Encyclopadie des fudentums, i., 7, 998, Schaff-Herzog, Encyclopedia, iv., ‘‘ Tyre’’.—éxetoe: the adverb may be used here with something of its proper force, but in xxii. 5, the only other
place in which it occurs in N.T., simply = ἐκεῖ, Simcox, Language of the New Testament, p.179. Page (in loco) renders ‘for there the ship was unlading her cargo,” ἐκεῖσε being used because of the idea of movement and carrying into the town contained in the ‘unloading ”.— ἦν ἀποφ.: taken sometimes as the present for the future, Burton, p. 59, but see also Winer-Moulton, xly., 5, and Wendt (1888) in loco (Philo, De Prem. et Pan., 5; and Athenzus, ii., 5, of lightening a ship in a storm),—ydpov (γέµω): so in classical Greek, Herod., Dem., etc., in LXX of the load of a beast of burden, Exod. xxiii. 5, 2 Kings v. 17; in N.T. only elsewhere in Rev. xviii. 11, of any merchandise.
Ver. 4. ἀνευρόντες τοὺς p.: more than simply to find, gu@rendo reperire, Blass; ‘‘having found out,” as collo- quially ‘having looked up”; only in Luke, cf. Luke ii. 16, but in middle, 4 Macc. iii. τ4.-- τοὺς pad: W.H. The article indicates that the existence of the disciples was known, but it was difficult to find out their whereabouts in a great town, cf. xv. 3, 4 Taam μήν, see on x. 48. --- ἡμέας ἑπτά: the period would at all events enable Paul to enjoy a first day of the week with the Church. Apparently he and his went on in the same ship, ver. 6, evidently it was a trading vessel of the larger size, as it took this time to unload; on the genuine- ness of the narration here see Salmon, Introd., Ῥ. 300.—&a τοῦ Π.: there is no contradiction between this state-
